【バンコク＝児玉浩太郎】３日付のベトナム国営紙トイチェー（電子版）によると、ベトナム中部クアンチ省の沖合の南シナ海で１日、操業中のベトナム漁船が中国船から体当たりされる妨害を受けた。

　乗組員７人が船外に投げ出されたが、他の漁船に救助されて無事だった。

　現場は同省のコンコ島から約１３０キロ・メートルの海域。体当たりされた漁船の船長は同紙に対し、「巨大な船が激しくぶつかり、助けを求めたのに再び衝突してきた。船体が損傷して甲板が水浸しになった」などと語った。

    According to the Vietnamese government managed paper Toiche (electronic edition) dated 3rd, on the 1st at the South China Sea off the coast of Vietnamese central Kuanchi province, a Vietnamese fishing boat’s operation was interfered by being bumped into by a Chinese ship.

    Seven crew members were thrown overboard, but were rescued by other fishing boats and were safe.

    The site of the incident was the sea area about 130 kilometers from the Konko Island. The captain of the fishing boat which was banged upon told the same newspaper that "a huge ship bumped into him violently; and bumped again despite he was yelling for help. The hull was damaged, the deck became soggy" etc.

It seems that minor conflicts between China and Vietnam at the South China Sea are continuing.
